Our Story: From Humble Beginnings to a Beacon of Early Childhood Education

At Michelle’s Place Childcare Center INC, we embarked on our path with a clear and meaningful purpose: to offer outstanding care and education to the community’s children. Originating as a home-based provider with a focus on fostering the development of young minds, we have evolved from our humble origins into a flourishing collection of early learning facilities.

From the launch of our inaugural center in July 2007, welcoming 35 children, we have extended our reach to include two licensed centers and one license exempt facility, all reflecting our dedication to superior early childhood education.

Our Mission and Core Values: Setting the Stage for Lifelong Learning

Michelle’s Place is built on the joyful conviction that a child’s early years lay the groundwork for future achievements. This belief fuels our mission to craft a nurturing, safe, and joyful haven—a place where education thrives, and the presence of drugs is a non-factor. We’re dedicated to nurturing every aspect of a child’s development, including their mental, social, physical, and academic growth. Our certified and passionate team members are at the heart of this commitment, working tirelessly to ensure that each child in our care has the opportunity to flourish.
